Sk. Yadav et al., RELEASE RATES FROM SEMICRYSTALLINE POLYMER MICROCAPSULES FORMED BY INTERFACIAL POLYCONDENSATION, Journal of membrane science, 125(2), 1997, pp. 213-218
Microencapsulation of active agents, for their controlled release, can
be brought about by the method of interfacial polycondensation [1]. I
n this paper, the permeabilities of the polyurea microcapsules for enc
apsulated cyclohexane have been determined. It is shown that the produ
ct of the permeability and membrane thickness can be changed over at l
east an order of magnitude by changing the degree of crystallinity of
the polymer forming the membranes.
